 If a normal Linux app is launched as a Sugar activity, the loading
 (splash) screen stays animated in the background for about one and a half
 minutes. This doesn't affect the operation of the app, but it is confusing
 for users.

 If Sugar was able to easily and seamlessly run normal Linux applications,
 its potential application base would be far greater.
